Worried Man Blues

Went across the river, I lay down to sleep
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep
When I woke up, had shackles on my feet

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

Twenty one links of chain around my leg
Twenty one links of chain around my leg
And on each link there's an initial of my name

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

Asked the judge what's gonna be my fine
Asked the judge what's gonna be my fine
Twenty one years on that rocky mountain line

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

Train pulled out is twenty one coaches long
Train pulled out is twenty one coaches long
And the woman I love is on that train and gone

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

Twenty one years to pay my awful crime
Twenty one years to pay my awful crime
Twenty one years and I still got ninety nine

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Well I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

I was worried before, ain't worried no more
